HS code for Wrought antimony: 8110.90
Antimony and articles thereof, wrought, other than waste and scrap.
Classification of wrought antimony under HS 8110.90
Wrought antimony is classified under HS code 8110.90 because this subheading specifically covers antimony and articles thereof that have been worked beyond the initial smelting or refining stages. In the context of the Harmonized System, the term "wrought" refers to products that have been subjected to mechanical working such as rolling, drawing, extruding, or forging. This classification distinguishes these semi-manufactured or finished goods from unwrought antimony, which includes raw forms like ingots, blocks, or cakes, as well as powders. The classification follows General Interpretative Rule 1, which dictates that classification is determined by the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. Since heading 8110 covers antimony in all forms, and subheading 8110.90 is the residual category for wrought forms and finished articles, it is the correct designation for these materials. The wrought stage implies a higher level of value-add and specific physical properties, such as increased tensile strength or specific dimensions required for industrial applications. This code is also used for articles made of antimony that do not have a more specific heading elsewhere in the nomenclature. It is important to note that for a product to be classified here, the antimony content must predominate by weight over any other single element, unless the alloy is specifically mentioned in another chapter.

Codes often confused with 8110.90
Common mistake. Wrought antimony is frequently confused with HS code 8110.10, which is reserved for unwrought antimony and powders. The distinction lies in the mechanical working; if the metal has been rolled or drawn, it must move to 8110.90. Another common error involves HS code 8110.20, which covers waste and scrap. If an article is broken or clearly intended only for metal recovery, it belongs in 8110.20, but if it is a functional wrought part, it remains in 8110.90. Additionally, antimony compounds like antimony trioxide are classified in Chapter 28 (specifically 2825.80) rather than Chapter 81.
Top exporters and importers of HS 811090 (the code used for wrought antimony), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 811090 (the code used for wrought antimony) in UN Comtrade data was Thailand, with 27% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Thailand, with 59% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
